the united states may have the intention of abandoning that region of the world. -- the united states may have the temptation defacto of abandoning that region of the world. that would not be reasonable. if you look, for instance, the idea that you have -- you have already abandoned it. by that year, you would be autonomous from an energy point of view. so you would not import energy from any 30 world country. -- third world country. what is the relationship you have with saudi arabia? the chinese and the indians have more like 60%. what is the reason why you have to be in this part of the world? if the reason why you came as oil and you don't need that? of course, you cannot abandon as part of the world because you are interested in the flow of oil, even if it doesn't go to your country.

the united states has a lot of international backing. most countries and the world are supporting us, not the iranians. there is a big, big push now to see if we and other countries can sit down with iran, negotiate our differences, prevent iraq from becoming a nuclear weapons power, and getting the international atomic energy agency to watch the iranians and make sure they don't go beyond what they should be doing in the enrichment of uranium. the president has put in place very tough sanctions, the toughest ever put in place against iran -- president obama has done that -- and he has reserved the right at the end of the date for the united states foto use force, but he is putting that off for diplomacy. i worked with president george w. bush and secretary of state condoleezza rice on the iran issue for three years. there is a remarkable similarity between the george w. bush policy on iran and barack obama policy. i get the sense in my discussions with senators and congressmen and women on capitol hill that there is a basic bipartisan s

the united states drew a clear red line and iran backed off. now, redlines can be drawn in different parts of iran's nuclear weapons program. but to be credible, a red line must be drawn first and foremost in one vital part of their efforts to iran's iraq -- to enrich uranium. let me explain why. basically, and the bomb consists of explosive material and a mechanism to ignite it. the simplest example is gunpowder and refuse. that is, you light the fuse and yousuf of the gunpowder. -- you set off the gun powder. in the case of iran's efforts to build a nuclear weapon, the nuclear enrichment is the gunpowder. the fuse is the detonator. producing the gunpowder is a lot more difficult than a detonator. for a country like iran, it takes many, many years to enrich uranium for a bomb. it requires thousands of centrifuges spending in tandem in very big industrial plants. those iranian plants are visible. and they are still vulnerable. in contrast, iran could produce a nuclear detonator, the fuse, and a lot less time, maybe under year. maybe only a few
